Underground Stations

Using the , and . you can lower or raise a station in relation to the normal terrain, but how do you cover it over to make it into an Underground Station?!.

You can't, you have to use mods.

I won't use mods, this game crashes enough in vanilla never mind adding unofficial mods!.

In that case, MAYBE the developers will make a patch with a real underground station in it. Without mods, that's the only way you'll get one.

You want to bury a station. (So it's "underground", right?)
Obliviously that won't work, as you found out.

It seems crazy to me that the developers will go 9/10 of the way to enabling the building an underground station and won't go just that little bit further!. Thanks for your response, anyway!.

The ability to raise and lower things (not just stations) is a LONG way from being 9/10 of the way done to creating a working underground (or elevated) station, when you consider the ground-level access needed, etc.

Yes, thinking about it, you are right. You would need special stations (with lighting at least) and, as you say, access to the city above!. There is also the question of how deep the station is, and road access for cargo stations, and can buildings be built above the station!. Other games (like 'Cities in Motion' - which I haven't played for a long time) manage to achieve it, but they don't have the detail this game has!. It could be done (I've seen the underground mods), it just takes the will of the developers to do it!.
